what ever would be would be! HUH really?

"Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be"

A couple of days ago I found myself singing this
very popular song..and it got me thinking..

 Is it really true that what ever would be would be.. just like that...

The more I thought about it...a particular man in scripture dropped in my spirit
The man crippled from birth by the pool of Bethesda...(Jn 5:1-9)
He sat by this pool day in day out and thought to himself,
whatever would be would be....I would be whole again one day
and with that mentality he sat there and watched people jumping in
every time the water stirred and they got healed..
but he....HE sat waiting...what would be would be....
I do not make light the fact that he had limitations,
I do not deny that he had issues preventing him from getting to
the pool,after all he had no one to help
Genuine excuse you might say..
but what about the other infirm people around..

How many of us are expecting change in 2014 and yet we are
not prepared to do anything different..we are sitting in one spot
wishing,hoping,praying that change comes
 yet we have a what would be would be mentality..
We forget that we have our own part to play...
Some times it doesn't have to be anything major
the slightest change can make a big difference..

We know the man was crippled but he could
at least have wriggled his bottom...a little here,a little there
he would have moved an inch closer to the pool each day..
but no he sat waiting.... what would be would be...

This year...I come against this what would be would be mentality...
I receive strength to back my faith with actions...
In as much as God has his part to play..I also have mine
What would be..won't be until
someone stands up and makes it happen...

 We know the One who owns the future and he is able to
lead us into all truths..
He is able to open our eyes to see..and as far as our eyes can see
God is able to do unto us.

Enough with the excuses...I don't have any one to help
I don't have the right opportunities..
I don't have this I don't have that...
That job won't fall on your lap from heaven..
The promotion won't come,If you have not developed
enough capacity for a promotion
your marriage won't work if you just fold your
arms and wish...
There is work to be done...

Ask yourself...what do I need to do differently to get a better
result this year..
Wishful thinking won't get us any where..
lets make the best with what we have...
and God would do the rest...

May God help us all in Jesus Name
AMEN..

My Case Is Different...

Shutting my eyes I can vividly remember every time someone has tried to discourage me from launching out or dreaming big based on someone else's experience or failure... sometimes it has been said unconsciously,without even thinking... The moment you mention your intention and desires,there is always someone who is ready with an example of someone else's story... Who says I have to apply 10 times before I get a visa to a foreign country Who says I have to have a god-father before I get that dream job Who says I have to attend 5 interviews and receive 5 rejections before I get the job Who says I have to wait and wait,fall into wrong hands and then learn from my mistakes before I eventually  find my prince charming.. Who says I have to have connections to get ahead in life... My case is different... I am not a statistic...my case is different The fact that it happened to 4 or 6 people you know doesn't mean it would happen to me my c...

I AM NOT DEAD YET

I am not much of the gardening type as much as I love flowers and pot plants, It takes quite a bit of an effort for me to give the flowers and pot plants in my front yard the attention they deserve... but I must admit they add such beauty and charm to my front yard. lately I have just been too pre-occupied with all that has been happening in my life and around me to even notice that I have plants to feed and nurture.. 2 weeks ago I noticed that they had all withered and the leaves were dry,brittle and falling,especially with the summer.. I sighed in regret..if only I wasn't too consumed with myself maybe my lovely front yard would have been preserved. I gave up,maybe it was too late to salvage the situation. I might just try I said to myself and see what difference it makes.. I set out a couple of days ago to water the plants...I had just a small bowl of water.. and as I went back inside to get more water..I got distracted and never got round to fully watering the...

THANKSGIVING..

I have never had to struggle for want of what to write but I have literally spent the past minutes just staring at my screen.... where do I start from is the issue at hand How do I compress the faithfulness of GOD to me in just a post...hmmmm.. I turn 28 today..yet it seems I have been here longer.. I marvel at the quality and the richness of my life.. The wealth of experience and all that God has invested in me... For all his many blessings,For his favour and his Presence  Lord for all these and more..I say thank you I woke up today with gratitude,with a heart full of praise...God has been Good to me.. I take a walk down memory lane and I go back 15 years  to a time when I first accepted Jesus. What I am most grateful for is this decision I made to follow hard after JESUS A lot of times I failed Him,strayed away,messed up,blew my chances But His mercy never ceased and  I kept seeking and running after him.. I have come a long way 15 years later,I still l...
